Étant très impliqué socialement, politiquement et dans des mouvements d'église, j'ai participé à de nombreuses assemblées délibérantes dans ma vie. Avec leurs débats, leurs polarisations dans certains cas des ruptures d'autres fois des compromis ou des consensus géniaux.
International Affairs Committee made a recommendation endorsing visits to the Holy Land sponsored by the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Centre in Jerusalem. It failed to pass after commissioners suggested evidence had been found for Sabeel being anti-Semitic; it was also recommended that the court be offered more than one tour group through which to visit the Holy Land.
Having been very much involved socially, politically and in church movements, I have participated in many public assemblies in my life. With their debates, their polarizations, in some cases ruptures, in other cases compromise or even at times brilliant consensus.
I am the student representative of St. Andrew's Hall/VST and a member of Haney, in the Presbytery of Westminster. Moderator, I would first like to thank you for allowing me to address this assembly and giving me permission to observe and participate in the deliberations of this past week. I have enjoyed the week immensely; being here at General Assembly has confirmed for me that I am definitely a Presbyterian because I had the time of my life. I suppose my excitement at being here was heightened by the difficult trip I had getting here. After a flight from Vancouver to Toronto and a lengthy layover in the airport there, I flew into Ottawa through a thunderstorm – I could see forks of lightning outside the windows as we landed, and we had a long period of waiting on the tarmac for several hours until the storm cleared and we could disembark. I have heard people say that 'the journey is more important than the destination,' but I can tell you that after a long and difficult journey, arriving at your destination and being greeted by the friendly faces of the local arrangements committee is pretty wonderful.
When the Order of Diaconal Ministries called upon their longest-serving member, 100-year-old Margaret Williams, to say a few words in honour of their centennial year, the diminutive lady took the microphone, said, "Thank you very much," then stood back and smiled.
